Bug 637490

Patch fixing the issue

Test package that contains this fix will appear at:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mtomaschewski:/branches:/network:/utilities/openSUSE_11.3

and submitted to network:utilities in request 61238.

Mr. Maintenance & Co,

netstat does not trim the local IPv6 address when -T is given, the above
simple patch fixes it to not trim the remote / foreign IPv6 address too.

Affected are all distributions, currently inclusive of Factory and SLES.
[IMO quite important, because netstat is the standard tool to look at
 the current connection list... As workaround "lsof -ni" can be used.]

Back to maintainer to handle the updates.

Ahm... question is of course: where do we provide updates?

The update should be SR'd from network:utilties > opensuse 11.3 test 

http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Maintenance 

osc mbranch helps to setup the correct repos. 

I've approved the SR and forwarded it to factory.

Sure, but currently there is no decision from maintenance team if
(and when) there will be an update or not.

I've intentionally submitted it to network:utilities only [even I could
commit it there directly] to let the maintainer a chance to review it...

Uli,

the package is in network:utilities now -- can you test if it works
for you as well?

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/utilities/openSUSE_11.3/x86_64/net-tools-1.60-768.1.x86_64.rpm

the patch looks good to me. So a factory SR has already been done according
to comment #6. I have added the patch to the SLE11-SP1 code base and created
SR 10678 for it

as this is not an L3 I'm not going to submit to SLE10/11 GA. openSUSE can
live with the version in network:utilities.

For me there is only one outstanding point which is SLE10-SP4
unfortunately the trim flag is missing in that code base. Marius should
we back port the flag_trim in the sle10 code base ?

should be fixed for opensuse I think +1

(SLE is decided by maint-coord at suse.de )

I think so. Maintenance Team, Thorsten - what about sles?

It is just about to apply both patches exactly as on sle11 / 11.x:

  net-tools-1.60-notrim.diff
  net-tools-1.60-dont-trim-foreign-addr6.diff

I've applied them in
  $IBS/home:mtomaschewski:branches:SUSE:SLE-10-SP4:Update:Test

Currently untested.
